N.E.R.D Club. Yoonhee stared at the rather unappealing sign in front of her; it seemed to have been plastered on the door with haste: the paper plain, the words in pencil. She had long forgotten what the letters all stood for but it didn't matter. All she had to do was join. It was a little past four, if you were in the school now, you'd have to be heading to your club or studying in the library. Even so, the school was deserted in this wing. Yoonhee paused for a minute before reaching for the doorknob and thought what the next hour or so might do to her reputation.

She was one of the more popular students at Yeoksam High School, a social butterfly with silky brown hair, a pretty face, and impeccable fashion sense. It was last weekend at a sleepover when she was jokingly dared to "go join the losers in that club"; however, further details were discussed after Suzy thought it would be a fun project. Suzy was an elegant girl in terms of appearances and eloquent in matters of personal gain. Suzy was queen bee; what she says goes. She never had malice for Yoonhee, and if she did she hid it well, so no one really knew why Suzy targeted her but if Yoonhee joining Nerd Club is what Suzy wanted, she would get it.

Yoonhee contemplated her options: join and risk getting mocked or cop out and definitely face Suzy's belittling. The first option was infinitely more attractive. Still, no one would be eager to throw pieces of her status away so Yoonhee stood frozen until someone interrupted her numb state.

"Hello," The speaker paused doubtfully,"May I help with you something?" Yoonhee blinked with unnecessary force and when her eyes opened again they sported a glimmer and she a had sparkling smile sure to charm anyone. The speaker was a frowsy girl with short, mahogany hair. Her outfit was a splurge of bear patterns and her shoes were white, at least Yoonhee assumed they were at one time from the splotchy appearance of the color, with perhaps drawn on pictures of various styles of mustaches. Long story short: she was a hot mess and it took Yoonhee quite the effort to keep from gagging.

"Uh, yes, actually. Are you a member of Nerd Club? I'd like to join," Yoonhee supplied the girl. Her eyes widened slightly before biting her lips and nodding. 

"I don't know if you can join or not," Her fingers fumbled with themselves awkwardly,"I'd have to ask Miso." Yoonhee almost scowled at such a name but months of practicing to control her composition paid off and she remained pristine.

"That's fine. I just," Yoonhee swallowed her pride,"really, really want to join. I'll do whatever it takes."

I've literally clawed at my hair creating this story.
